    SOLD/EXPIRED Remington 700 stocks, gunsmith specials.

    I have a few stocks laying around that I figured must still have a little value to the right person. These were mostly test stocks I used for trying out different paint colors and methods. They are totally sound structurally and with a little sandpaper and paint could be a great project for...

    Trophy ridge react trio pro

    I'm cleaning out some archery stuff and I have a sweet sight for sale. It's a trophy ridge react trio pro. I bought new last fall and maybe had it on my bow for 200 shots or so. It's a three pin main housing for 20, 30, and 40 yards for normal bowhunting scenarios, then use the dial to take it...

    Alaska Grizzly Bullet Choice

    In regards to a previous to an earlier post, a failure to fire in a glock pistol is 10 out of 10 times a problem with the ammo. In the last 13 years of gunsmithing I've yet to see something that leads me to believe something different. It's always someone who knows a guy who has a cousins uncle...

    Opinions on variable scope with 20x-25 on top end - $1,00-$1,500

    Vortex strike eagle 5-25x56. Hands down the best scope I've ever used under a grand. I've got three of them now and have been using them for the past 4 years. It's been my go to for my hunting rifles and the features you get are hard to beat in that price range.

    7prc > 7rm ??

    I do not understand the hatred that gets flung at new cartridges. If we stopped innovating and trying to improve things we wouldn't be Americans. I love the 7mm rem mag and have built more of them than probably any other caliber. My taxidermist has made a small fortune, and my protein supply...

    POLL - Best do all camo for all hunting

    I'm a big fan of camo that isn't a picture of "hardwoods" or "prairie" printed on a shirt. First lite has been good to me lately, their camo makes sense for where I hunt and their clothing actually fits. I'm 6'4" 250 and it's extremely hard to find stuff in an xl that actually has an...

    All around bipod

    I've tried them all and to me the spartan javelin is the best I've used. It uses a very quick and secure magnetic attachment and you can get multiple different styles of legs for it depending on your needs. I carry mine in an fhf pouch specifically made for the bipod secured on the bottom side...

    Does a gunsmith know when a barrel will shoot?

    The use of quality components goes a long way. That's why most builders including myself find components that work consistently well and that they can stand behind being a precise product. Checking the total runout between the chamber, throat and bore will give a pretty decent idea, as well as...

    I have a preffered barrels, stainless, spiral fluted, #3 contour .284 caliber 5R 1-8 twist barrel blank up for sale. The blank measures 24" long and my plan was to build a 22" 7mm SAW with it. If you haven't used preffered barrels give them a Google. They're fantastic barrels and I've had...

    Lightweight, high-performance polished WOOD stock

    Don't know. The stock weighs 38 Oz which is on the heavy side for some folks. But grayboe offers that finish in all their rifle stocks now. That trekker stock they have would be a lighter option.
